Shady Brook Rabbitry

06/02/2026

If someone doesn’t sn**ch this doe up soon, I might just change my mind and keep her because holy cow, look at how she’s growing out! It’s looking like I’m likely sending something on Green Gate Farm’s transport route, so if you’re interested in her go take a look at the general direction they’re heading and then message me if it looks like it’ll work before proceeding.

Shady Brook’s Queen Of Hearts, black/orange tricolor Rex Jr doe
Carries chocolate and nonextension; self and dilute are possible.

This is a daughter of Shady Brook’s Skoll and therefore a granddaughter of KKH’s Forget-Me-Not - Forget-Me-Not is also currently available and bred to Skoll for a July 2nd litter.

Well that answers that question. This little black frizzle, who is small enough to slip out of my fence wheneverthehell she wants, disappeared awhile back. There’s a lot of hiding places on this property so I knew if she was broody there was no chance I was finding her if she didn’t want me to. I figured that was likelier than her just wandering off and getting murked. Well here we are with 7 chicks! Her lover is an ermine Ameraucana so I’m guessing the four white chicks are ermine. Now to see who turns out frizzle!

👀 🏡 - bred broken red Rex doe

KKH’s Forget-Me-Not, broken red Rex Sr doe
ARBA registered with 1 GC leg, though she is certainly past her show prime at this point.
Carries self, possibly chocolate. No dilute.

I am hesitantly posting this gal, and only because at this point I’m keeping her grandkits. She is 2 1/2 years old and just off a litter and in amazing condition, so she was happily bred to Shady Brook’s Skoll for a July 2nd litter. This will be a linebred litter, and I have high hopes.

Skoll is a broken red Rex buck, also ARBA registered.

I would like the option to buy back a kit, so I would prefer she go semi-locally or to someone I end up at shows with frequently. The litter should only consist of reds in solid, broken, or charlie patterning.

If she doesn’t leave before the Summit County night show (June 20th - Tallmadge, OH), she will stay here and raise her litter.

I’m sure if y’all follow Kalyn at Elbon Mill Farm you’ve already been introduced to Salt… well, Salt has siblings, and they’re also pretty adorable!

I’ll go ahead and say it since I’ve had to repeat myself entirely too many times… these are NOT Czech Frosties (nor will they ever be used to cross into my Czech Frosty herd). They are F1 Pixie Rex, which, if you’ve not been following our Pixie Rex project, the end goal is a Rex furred, upright cylindrical (which is the same body type as Czech Frosties so it makes sense why they look similar…) rabbit weighing no more than 3 pounds (for show purposes… being a dwarf breed, false dwarfs are possible and will inevitably be above 3 pounds). We are aiming towards brindle and “marble” - what we are calling brindled magpie - first. The dam to these kits is a lightly marked chocolate magpie, and I just happened to get 3 frosty and 1 lightly marked black magpie in this pairing. We’re still in the stage of needing to outcross for various parts needed, and this cross was done for bone. We have struggled a lot with weak ankles in the Pixies.

Anyways, now that I have that out of the way… (I’m sorry, I’m pretty done with people questioning every little thing I do lately and I’m sure it’s showing)… just look at these guys! I am for sure keeping the darkest one, and the other two not including Salt will also be growing here for awhile to see how they grow out and if they can help the Pixie project as well. Even if they don’t make the cut, they will not end up available.

If otter’s your jam, Hannah has this beautiful proven buck available out of my stock! I believe he has to carry self, chocolate, and nonextension based on parentage, so if you like chocolate … here you go! He’s looking very nice, and if otter -was- my jam I’d probably snag him up myself!

Hopefully this pretty gal will finally give us a litter. I paired her up yesterday to Timberrose’s TR923, our ‘black’ buck that I am suspecting is actually seal, but totally could pass as black unless you look really hard at his eyes, which have a ruby cast to them. He was who I paired her to last time and I’m pretty sure him being so young is why she didn’t take - the other doe I paired him to also didn’t kindle. So we’re trying again with him being a month and a half older.

This is Dichrome’s Moon, sable Silver Marten Sr doe.

I feel like the universe is trying to tell me something here. My blind (genetic cataracts) doe FINALLY had a litter by my only possibly carrying (by parentage) buck. If you could call it a litter. 3 HUGE kits, and only one still alive. I’ve been trying to get her bred since January, and her dam too since she is a carrier of it. Her dam has had nothing to do with it. And 1 kit from the blind doe isn’t going to cut it with testing unless it turns up blind in 6 months or less. I can rebreed but holy cow, is it going to take 3+ breedings just to give enough live kits to call it an -accurate- test?

My brain is just asking me if it’s really worth it to test this single buck when I arguably have better, or just scrap him and the two possible carrier does I have since I can’t test them until I test him or grow out a buck from the blind doe to breeding age for 2+ litters (breeding to a carrier of cataracts needs 16 kits to test, whereas breeding to blind only needs 8 ). These two tester does are really getting on my nerves.

It is insane how much these juniors can change in just a few days’ time. I guess it might be time for me to just stop posing this one for awhile while I’m pleased with what I’m seeing 😅. Her back end looks wayyyy better than it did last time I posted her. She definitely is still showing some flaws, but I’m pretty sure she’ll end up being paired to Cupid if she sticks around and he should fix a lot of what I’m seeing. And if she keeps it up she has a couple things that may also help out when paired to him.

Also, past the posed pictures, can I just say THIS is the whole reason I do what I do. I enjoy raising rabbits that are just generally pleasing to look at. Red is my favorite color in Rex, sure, but I just think she’s got a very pleasant look to her overall, between her pattern and head shape, among other things. I’m no expert at photography - this is just my iPhone camera - but to take these guys out and show y’all how I see them every day just makes me happy.

Gotta love it when a young kit will sit in a pose without fussing!

Black self chinchilla buck kit from The Rabbit Burrow’s Kelpie (black Silver Marten) x Harengon’s Sully (blue Rex). This little one carries white and dilute, with a chance of carrying chocolate.
